Abstract:
A two stage pump (2′, 4′), where the high pressure stage (4′) is a gear pump (11, 12), comprises a driving of the other stage (2′) by a support shaft (74), mounted in the driven pinion (12), the shaft (74) being driven by the drive shaft (21), by means of a pair of toothed wheels (77, 79) adjacent to the rest of the stage (4′), which can allow different rotation speeds between the two stages (2′, 4′). The support shaft (74) may be supported by stops and hydrodynamic bearings, directly integrated and lubricated in the driven pinion, which make the design lighter and more compact. The shaft (74) and the toothed wheels (77, 79) ingeniously transmit the loads from the stage (2′) to the stage (4′) in such a way as to cancel out the usual hydraulic loads, stemming from pressure, and mechanical, forces stemming from rotational drivings on the driven pinion (12).

Abstract:
A fuel delivery pump for a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, including a pair of gears that mesh with each other and are driven to rotate in a pump chamber. The pair of gears deliver fuel from an intake chamber connected to a storage tank, along a supply conduit that is formed between the end face of the gears and the circumference wall of the pump chamber, into a pressure chamber connected to the fuel injection pump. A conduit is provided that connects the intake chamber to the pressure chamber. The conduit can be connected to a ventilation device, and that upstream and downstream of the ventilation device, a pressure valve is provided for a directed fuel flow in the conduit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fuel feed pump for a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, having a pair of gear wheels that mesh with one another and are driven to rotate in a pump chamber. The pair of gear wheels pump fuel out of an intake chamber that communicates with a supply tank along a feed conduit, formed between the end face of the gear wheels and the circumferential wall of the pump chamber, into a pressure chamber that communicates with the fuel injection pump. One gear wheel is secured to a shaft is driven to rotate by means of a drive element that engages the shaft, wherein the drive element can be connected to the shaft by an overload safety device.
Abstract:
An in-tank type electric motor fuel pump with a fuel inlet end cap, a fuel outlet cap, a case coaxially joining the end caps to form a pump housing, an electric motor mounted in the housing having a stator with spring-retained permanent field magnets surrounding the motor armature, and a gerotor pump in the housing rotatably driven by the motor armature. An inlet port plate, an outlet port plate and a cam ring sandwiched between the plates form a gerotor pocket axially between the plates, and inner and outer gear rotors are disposed in the pocket with intermeshing teeth defining circumferentially disposed expanding and ensmalling pumping chambers. A pair of alignment and fastening screw pins are the sole hardware for clamping the plates and cam ring in tightly sandwiched relationship and holding the pump unit together in properly axially, radially and angularly oriented component relationship in precision final assembly as an operable gerotor pump. The screw pins each have a cylindrical smooth surface shank portion precision fitting in smooth wall precision aligned bores in the plates and cam ring. The screw pin threaded end threadably engages a threaded portion of the inlet plate bore hole that is slightly reduced in diameter relative to the smooth surface bore holes. The radial tolerances between the pin and inlet plate hole threads are larger than that between the pin shank smooth portion and the associated smooth surface alignment bores in the plates and cam ring to prevent alignment distortion from thread seating stresses. The screw pins also have axially elongated and slotted screw heads that serve as fail-safe stops limiting loosening motion of the magnets. The pump rotors have predetermined fixed assembly axial and radial clearance dimensions relative to the pump plates and cam ring respectively established and maintained in assembly by the screw pins fitment in the plates and cam ring.
Abstract:
A gear-type pump having an inner rotor and an outer rotor and in which the outer rotor is supported for rotation by a plurality of roller bearings interposed between a support housing and the outer rotor and in which the inner and outer rotors and the support housing are made of the same material and have essentially the same width dimension so that the thermal contraction of the support housing and the thermal contraction of the inner and outer rotors while pumping super-cooled fluid does not adversely affect the end-clearance between the end plates and the inner and outer rotors to an extent where the efficiency of the pump would differ if it were pumping fluid at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Abstract:
A method of lubricating a coupling shaft of a gear pump includes communicating lubricant from a first gear stage along a first splined end section of the coupling shaft and through a first slot in a first radial shoulder of the coupling shaft, and also communicating lubricant from a second gear stage along a second splined end section of the coupling shaft and through a second slot in a second radial shoulder of the coupling shaft. The first radial shoulder is axially spaced from the second radial shoulder by an axial distance SA along an axis of rotation of the coupling shaft. The first and second slots each define a lowermost radial dimension SR from the axis of rotation, with a ratio SR/SA of 0.25-0.77.

Abstract:
A spur-gear type fuel pump for vehicles is disclosed having a pair of interengaged gears contacting an interior surface of a pump body cavity for capturing fuel between teeth of the gears and the interior surface. The gears have a concentrically ground face that is flush against and slides over the interior surface to generally prevent or restrict fuel bleed or leakage across the interface and from between the teeth of the gears.
